Abstract: (Elsevier)
Single beta decay transitions in 114–120 Pd are calculated. Theoreticalβ + and β − strength distributions, for transitions to 1 + states in the nuclei 114–120 Ag and 114–120 Rh , are obtained in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA). The effective two-body interaction which is used in the calculations is constructed from the Bonn one-boson-exchange potential (OBEP). Particle-hole and particle-particle like channels of the two-body force are included in the definition of the QRPA matrix equations. Effects associated with the particle number violation of the quasiparticle mean field are accounted for by using a particle-number-projected version of the QRPA formalism. Theoretical strength distributions for the β − and β + braches are shown and compared with data.
